Yellowstone

The Explorations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is headed by Dr. Gary Kettering of GP SEC and provides VCSU students the opportunity to learn of the inter-related infrastructure of the Yellowstone National Park.

Pickled Fish

Ethanol Racer

The Ethanol Racer simulation is designed to educate consumers on where ethanol comes from, why it’s used as a fuel additive, and how it’s save for vehicle use. A prototype of the game is being demoed at a number of county fairs over the 2014 summer and has generated tremendous interest with younger generations and we hope to capitalize on that opportunity to provide rich content and learning experiences as we develop the system further.

Arduino

Arduino is a simple microcontroller board and open source development environment that allows users to connect a variety of sensors to enable computer sensing and interaction with the real world. We expect to introduce professional development workshops on the topic in the near future.

SEND Trunk

In a partnership with Erik Holland of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, the Great Plains STEM Education Center (GPSEC) has developed a renewable energy focused portable trunk of materials as part of the Societyâ€™s SEND Trunk project.
